I posted a blog about this but I want to make sure more people see it than my friends on MFP. I'm turning 20 in the next couple weeks and within the next year I want to be more cultured and accomplished. I need more ideas though so if you think of anything please let me know and it will definitely be considered.

1. Weigh under 200 lbs.
2. Move out of my parents house----I lived out of my parents house for a year but that was in college and they were still helping me out a lot. I just got my associate's degree and while I'm still pursuing a bachelor's I also want to hold a full time job and be completely independent.
3. Take a road trip----I don't know where I want to go or who I want to go with but it needs to be out of state.
4. Watch AFI's top 100 films of all time
I'll make another post listing the movies and I will note the ones I've already seen and check off the rest as I go along.
5. Read all the books I was supposed to read in high school. ---This will of course require a separate list post.
6. Save 1,000 dollars---If I get the full time job I'll be able to save more than this.
7. Go to the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter----I live in Florida so getting to Orlando is not difficult.
8. Be a vegan for at least 30 days---This is something I have been considering for a very long time. It will be difficult but if I can do it for at least 30 days than I can probably do it for longer.
9. Learn to play the piano
I was in band in high school and played a lot of different instruments but I never learned piano. I know the notes but I can't play anything performance worthy.
10. Learn to drive a stick shift----My dad has one and he's tried to teach me but it's been an epic failure. I need to learn.
11. Say "I love you" to someone new----someone who is not family or a current friend. Hopefully I met someone who is worth this.
12. Forgive someone
I have someone in mind for this. She's asked for my forgiveness but I wasn't ready to give it. I may not want to be as close to her as I was before but I can at least let go.
13. Travel to somewhere I've never been
Hopefully I make enough money to do this. I would love to go to California.

    Good luck with all of this!!! #3 might be more fun when you turn 21, especially if you go somewhere exotic! Vodka and diet tonics, here you come!!! And as for being a vegan for 30 days, I was a vegan for 3.5 years and I was very happy and healthy. I am now eating eggs, dairy, and seafood because I wanted to get a different variety in, but I loved being vegan. When you do the vegan thing, get Boca Burgers, one kind of them says vegan right on the box. I LIVED on those (still kind of do). And also, soy milk and Kashi Go Lean cereal will help you get a lot of protein in the morning. Granted the Kashi may have honey in it, which is technically not vegan, but I never really followed the honey rule. Best wishes, and I look forward to reading your updates!

    Definitely! I can't wait to go. Even waiting in line for hours will be worth it. Hopefully I get to go this summer but if not then I will definitely go before my 21st birthday.
